I had a whole box of chocolate to sell on my desk all day taunting me to eat it! It was so hard! So this afternoon, I took the box and went to each cubicle to sell the chocolate! I sold it all! About 40 bars! No more temptation sitting on my desk! I am so proud of myself! Just an email or a note on the billboard doesn't sell. But put the temptation in front of people, and it sells quickly! Especially after 2pm. Perfect timing for a chocolate snack!
Good for you, Francine! And the neat thing is, you snuck a bit of exercise in while doing it! Weight lifting (lugging around the box of 40 bars) and walking (going from cube to cube). Nice going!
Ya know, I was just contemplating sneaking a brownie. Then I read Laurie's post and said "she's right! I will hate myself!" Thanks Laurie! I know that didn't help you, but you did just help me!
Francine - WTG! That is so awesome! You saved yourself some $ AND some calories! WOO HOO!!
Laurie, don't hate yourself. There are 365 days in a year - so you spent a few minutes of one of them eating brownies -- that shouldn't ruin the other 364. You have to live and eat for many more years and it's not a race to get to the finish line. Life is what happens while you are making other plans.
Just say I did this, it's behind me, and now I'm back on the course.
OK...so at work today there are tons of boxes of yummy chocolates around for Valentines Day!!! I did have 1 but I am limiting myself to that only!!!!!!!! It is soooo tempting. But, as I read, the pleasure I will get from it is fleating!!!!!!! I will get more pleasure in the long term with reaching my goals!!!!!!
Chocolate Sold!
